Blurb about the book:

On the moors of Lancashire, England, sits an ancient timber circle shrouded in legend. In 1635, Ralph Bleasdale knows his family history is connected to that circle. It is the source of the supernatural gifts that make them seers, oracles, and healers, but he refuses to believe. That is until he is faced with a decision: believe and follow the signs, or risk losing everything. What follows is a story filled with peril, dungeons, an ocean crossing, and a love that continues across time. Based on actual historical events and a belief that the unexplained is just not yet understood, Henceforth and Unstoppable is a story of spiritual visitations, ancestral connections, and one family’s incredible legacy, if they will only believe.
Henceforth and Unstoppable is a reimagined origin of the Blaisdell family from the author's first novel, The Gathering Room: A Tale of Nelly Butler, and it just might explain how Lydia Blaisdell came to be connected to America’s first documented ghost sighting in 1799. Although both books are connected, they can be read independently and in no particular order.
